Inspection Report Summary for Elegance Berkeley

In February 2022, Elegance Berkeley completed the initial licensing application and a competency interview, confirming staff qualifications and policy knowledge. At that time the facility had no residents and the application was considered complete for further review.

The first on‑site visit occurred in August 2022. Analysts observed a well‑maintained environment with adequate safety devices, fire clearance, and COVID‑19 screening protocols. However, the facility did not yet meet all licensing criteria: hot‑water temperature was below the required range, and not all staff were officially associated with the facility. The reviewers noted these deficiencies and directed the administrators to address them before a final license could be issued.

A subsequent unannounced case‑management visit in December 2022 involved a single resident transferred from Grand Lake Gardens. The analyst confirmed sufficient supplies, stable staffing, and no immediate health or safety concerns. By May 2023, after the facility had gained a resident census of 48, a post‑licensing inspection reported no deficiencies. Fire extinguishers, smoke and carbon‑monoxide detectors, and emergency plans were all in place, and the medical station was fully equipped. The review highlighted the facility’s robust assisted‑living and memory‑care services and praised the maintenance of adequate lighting, temperature control, and sanitation standards.

The most recent unannounced annual inspection in August 2023, conducted by the same analyst, observed 69 residents in individual apartments, including a monitored memory‑care unit. All passageways were clear, water temperatures met regulations, and supplies of perishable and non‑perishable food met the mandated minimums. The analyst noted no safety violations or care deficiencies. Across the series of visits, Elegance Berkeley demonstrated a consistent trend toward full compliance, resolved initial technical shortfalls, and maintained safe, well‑staffed environments for its residents.
